How to make your wing all-CF

A lot of people have been wanting to do this--removing the paint off the wing and exposing the CF underneath. Here's how I did it:

Have anyone tried removing the inside 4 screws from the spoiler and see if the side walls would separate instead of working with the whole spoiler?

Are you even sure if they're screws? The heads are perfectly round and smooth so you can't use a socket or screwdriver on them. If you knew for a fact that they unscrew, you could dremel some slots into the heads... but I didn't want to risk it. If someone has a busted/crashed wing assembly out there they should try it.

Has anyone else done this to their wing? I am planning on doing it soon, and I just wanted to see how some others turned out. Thanks,

Thanks. That's what I did for a few weeks. Having to answer "Is it an Evo RS?" for the millionth time was added motivation to get the job done already.
